Hello Sergio, or anyone else affected, Accepted systemd into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/249.11-0ubuntu3.12 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2035122 Title: Under ubuntu core/core-desktop, /etc/default/locale is not modifiable Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in systemd source package in Lunar: Won't Fix Status in systemd source package in Mantic: Won't Fix Bug description: [Impact] When working with ubuntu core or ubuntu core desktop, neither */etc/default/locale* nor */etc/default/keyboard* are modifiable, so it's not possible to set the global keyboard or the global language. This is required to allow to set the GDM language, and the default one during installation. The first half of the solution is to create the folder */etc/writable/default*, and make soft-links from */etc/default/locale* to */etc/writable/default/locale* and from */etc/default/keyboard* to */etc/writable/default/keyboard*, just like it is already being done with */etc/hostname*, */etc/issue*, */etc/localtime*, */etc/motd* and , */etc/timezone*. This solution, unfortunately, isn't complete. Although any application that just reads the files will work, not all of the applications that write to them will; specifically the systemd utilities that set the contents for those files, because they don't open the file directly; instead, they create first the new file in the same folder than the old one, fill its contents, and only then delete the old one and rename the new one. To solve this, systemd in Ubuntu already has several patches that detect if a file is a soft-link, in which case it replaces the old path with the destination one. Currently I have in place a patch for Ubuntu Core Desktop that implements both changes for both */etc/default/locale* and */etc/default/keyboard*. [Test plan] Using *sudo localectl set-lang LANG="xx_YY.UTF-8"* in an Ubuntu Core or Ubuntu Core Desktop admin terminal must change the locale to the specified one, which can be checked by reading the */etc/default/locale* file. Also, *localectl* must return the new locale. [Where problems could occur] In general, applications just read the content of the file and use the DBus interface to set the locale, so only those applications that modify by themselves the */etc/default/keyboard* and/or */etc/default/locale* would present a problem, in which case they would require specific patches. Anyway, those applications neither would work with the current state (with those files in a read-only filesystem). [Other info] For Noble, this will be addressed when we merge systemd v255 from Debian. This is only needed on core, so we don't need to fix for Mantic or Lunar.
